Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Puzzle 15 - Sliding Game ("the app", "we", "us", or "our") handles information when you use the app.

Puzzle 15 - Sliding Game is published by an independent developer. If you have questions about this Privacy Policy, you can contact us at pplsoftwaresolutions@gmail.com.

Summary

The app does not require you to create an account with us and does not ask you to provide your name, email address, or similar profile information to play.

However, the app does use third-party services and device storage to support gameplay, analytics, advertising, and in-app purchases. These services may process technical data such as app activity, device identifiers, purchase information, and diagnostic or usage data.

Information We Collect and Use

1. Local data stored on your device

• Game progression and unlocked content
• Best times, move counts, and challenge records
• In-game credit balance and refill timing cache
• Processed purchase tokens used to avoid granting the same consumable purchase twice
• Certain exported game settings or data that you choose to copy to your clipboard

This local data is used to operate the game and preserve your experience between sessions.

2. Firebase services

The app uses Firebase services provided by Google. These services are used for:

• Anonymous authentication
• Remote configuration of gameplay values and feature flags
• Analytics about app usage and feature interaction
• Cloud storage of a limited gameplay timing record related to credit refill timing

To support these features, Firebase may process technical information such as:

• Anonymous app instance or authentication identifiers
• App events and screen activity
• Device and app metadata
• A device identifier used by the app to manage the cloud-based credit reset timeout

We use Firebase Analytics to understand how players interact with the app, such as game starts, completions, ad events, purchase events, tutorial progress, and similar usage events.

3. Advertising

The app uses Google Mobile Ads to show:

• Banner ads
• Interstitial ads
• Rewarded ads

These ads help support the app and may involve the processing of technical data by Google or its advertising partners, such as device identifiers, IP address, app activity, and ad performance information.

The app requests non-personalized ads for banner ads. Other ad formats are served through the Google Mobile Ads SDK and may be subject to Google’s platform rules, consent settings, and privacy practices.

4. In-app purchases

The app offers in-app purchases through Google Play Billing. When you make a purchase, Google Play processes the transaction. We do not collect or store your full payment card information.

The app may process or store limited purchase-related data needed to deliver the purchased content, such as:

• Product identifiers
• Purchase tokens or transaction identifiers
• Purchase completion status

This information is used only to validate and complete the purchase flow and grant in-game credits.

Why We Use Information

We use information handled by the app to:

• Provide gameplay features and save progress
• Operate in-game credits and refill timers
• Deliver and measure ads
• Process and restore purchase-related entitlements where applicable
• Understand usage patterns and improve the app
• Detect errors, abuse, duplication, or misuse of in-app purchase flows

Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information.

We may share or make data available to service providers only as needed to operate the app, including:

• Google Firebase
• Google AdMob / Google Mobile Ads
• Google Play Billing

These providers process data under their own privacy terms and policies.

Children’s Privacy

Puzzle 15 - Sliding Game is a general-audience puzzle game. We do not knowingly ask children to provide direct personal information such as full name, home address, or email address in the app.

Because the app uses third-party services for analytics, ads, and purchases, those providers may process technical information as described above. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us directly, contact us at pplsoftwaresolutions@gmail.com and we will review the request.

Parents and guardians should also review the privacy practices of Google Play, Firebase, and Google Ads, since those services may process data when the app is used.
